I received The Little Mermaid Legacy Collection CD as a member of the
Entertainment New Media Network. No further compensation was received and
all opinions are my own.

Walt
Disney Records celebrates
The Little Mermaid’s 25th
anniversary with the release The
Little Mermaid Legacy Collection.Composer
Alan Menken said, “The greatest thing about what we do
is create something that works in the moment, but also stands the test of
time.For the last 25 years, a
generation has grown up with ‘The Little Mermaid’ and it has so greatly
influenced them. I hear all the time it’s the soundtrack of so many people’s
lives, and that’s a thrilling thing.” Wait...has it really been 25 years?I remember
watching the movie and singing along to the songs over and over when it first
came out.Now, I get to enjoy The
Little Mermaid with my daughter.There
is just something about the songs that evokes a feeling of happiness!

TheLittle Mermaid collection features the songs and score from the film by
Oscar®-winning composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman on Disc One, twelve
work tapes and song demos performed by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman on Disc
Two, and a collectible 20-page booklet.Also included are liner notes by Alan Menken, John Musker (Co-writer,
Director and Producer, “The Little Mermaid”), and Chris Montan (President of
Walt Disney Music). According to Menken, “The Legacy Collection
reorganizes the material and allows the listener to be able to draw more out of
it and enjoy it on another level.Technology has improved over the decades and going back to the masters
results in better representations of the material on these CDs.”

Commenting on Disc Two’s song demos Menken adds, “I
hope listeners experience some of our memories and I hope they take away, as I
do, a lot of re-discoveries.The demos
of some the song moments take the listener through the process on how they were
developed, understanding what the authors wanted to communicate, and ultimately
leading into what the song became.”

I was given a The Little Mermaid Legacy Collection

one of your own.All you have to do is
